President Cyril Ramaphosa is a liar and a swindler who makes empty promises and doesn’t get held accountable.

This is the criticism from EFF leader Julius Malema.

He was speaking during a media briefing at the party’s headquarters in Marshalltown.

Malema lamented what he called the devastating economic and social conditions that South Africans are forced to live under.

He says on several occasions the president had deliberately misled the country, including lying about the state of Eskom and its ability to provide electricity.
